Yesterday afternoon I went diving and saw my first octopus (outside of an aquarium, of course), which was quite exciting. Here are a few photos from the day.
That’s the octopus, attempting to hide in a small hole in a coral head.
Below is an anemone with a very large family of clownfish!
This is a Guineafowl Puffer, with a Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse cleaning off its body. The pufferfish was several inches long, and that’s before inflation. My family used to raise guineas (actually my parents got about a dozen new ones a few months ago), and the common Pearl Guinea has very much the same coloration and pattern as this pufferfish, so that was kind of cool for me to see.
Wonderful!
I wonder if those Guineafowl Puffer fish make a “Swim back, Swim back, Swim back” noise? 😉
Ha! That’s strange to even imagine. 🙂
